- finely chopped Garlic (boat load)
- olive oil
- melted butter
- seasoned italian bread crumbs
- salt and pepper
- Chopped parsley
In a pan sautee your garlic till lightly brown. Remove from the fire and in that same pan add your bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. The bread crumbs will be slightly soggy to the touch from the oil. Let it cool down a little and then add your parsley and a couple of table spoons of melted whole butter and mix well again. You should be left with a moist slightly soggy texture. Shuck your clams and top them with the breadcrumb mixture. Pack the bread crumbs down pretty good. Drizzle a few more drops of melted whole butter on top of each one. Bake on 375 till the bread crumbs are brown. Its simple.
For a nice twist add some old bay seasoning into the bread crumb mixture and you will have some kick a$$ crabby clams oreganata.
Is there oregano in this??? no. It doesnt get the name oreganata from oregano. You can add some i have tried it and its not so bad!!
